ICSOC 2007

I will be attending the International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing (ICSOC 2007) in Vienna, Austria on the week of September 17th.

Not only is ICSOC a top notch academic conference (with ~20% acceptance rate) but the location is not too shabby either. Vienna a city with a rich culture, history, and far reaching political influences over the years. It is located in the middle of Europe and borders eight other European nations.

Some of my planned activities include:

1. Tutorial entitled Web APIs and Services Mashups using Ruby and RoR. See also my tutorials page for slides and code samples. Though keep in mind that they will likely be updated for September


2. Mashups'07 workshop. See also this blog entry


3. Presentation and demo for paper entitled A Domain-Specific Language for Web APIs and Services Mashups

If you plan to be there then definitely drop me an email so we meet.

Mashups'07 Workshop at ICSOC 2007 in Vienna, Austria

Stefan Tai, of IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, Dave Nielsen of StrikeIron, Inc., and I are organizing Mashups'07 Workshop at ICSOC 2007 in Vienna, Austria on September 17, 2007. The Call for Papers and Demo is posted and the dealine is July 15th.

We have a great varied Program Committee composed of industry leaders (e.g., Google, Yahoo!, Adobe, and so on) as well as Academia (e.g., NC State, Stanford, and UC Berkeley) from both computing and business schools.

Finally, we are experimenting using a content mashup tool called Highlightr during this meeting for discussion, sharing, and mashing content.

Highlightr is an example application built using our Web 2.0 (situational applications) and Web APIs mashups research project at IBM Almaden called Swashup (built in Ruby and RoR). We also have a paper and demo of this project that we will present at ICSOC 2007 in September 2007 in Vienna.
